Shades closing

[phdphay]

I spoke to the manager at Shades, and he says that it's not true that Shades is moving. However, I have also heard rumors that Seaside is trying to squeeze out all of the businesses in their low-rise structures so that they can tear them down and build high-rise structures to make more efficient use of incredibly escalated real estate values along 30A.

Nevertheless, I hope that the manager at Shade's is being straightforward with us. Shades serves a great fish sandwich and a great catch salad at reasonable prices, and the bar is a fun place to eat and watch sports (and escape the massive number of annoyingly loud rug-rats with their cloyingly adoring parents who frequent Seaside). Somehow I don't think that the ambiance at an Inlet Beach location would be as fun.

Don't get me wrong. I like children, but somehow the parents who bring their children to Seaside appear to think that they have the most adorable children on the planet (even as they allow these children run loops around the tables and scream for more ketchup, much to the displeasure of other diners).

This is a problem! We always make sure the little Otters have Gameboys, books, something to keep them busy. Heck, we have even pulled off Cafe 30A with them and even received complements on their behavior

Although we enjoy the Seaside shops, we have found the area overrun with bikes riding on sidewalks, Some other town centers along 30-A do not allow bike riding and skateboarding on the sidewalks. Thanks to them!

So does anyone know what happened to Tuscany Grill? Is it a gone thing? I loved that place :clap_1: and much better than Onano down this way. Not many reasonable and tasty places on the east end and having been raised in an Italian family, the spices at the noodle aren't what I grew up with. They give me indigestion and the service was real slow last time I was there. Been meaning to try Blue by Night , anyone have comments on them?

Yup, it's a gone thing We really liked it too. Blue By Night Is real good. You'll probably need reservations for an outdoor table.

Tuscany Grill is gone, but Gugliamo has several other restaurants in the area. The closest one to Grayton is located in the little strip mall on the north side of Hwy 98, west of Hwy 393. The name of the restuarant is Gugliamo's. (I may be butchering the name.) It is a white table cloth restaurant -- a bit wierd for a strip mall, but the food is Italian and rather tasty, yet pricey. Another restaurant of his is located in the Outlet Stores, and it is more casual. I cannot remember the name, but it is easy to recognize.

Ciao Bella gets our vote for best pizza in the area.

Didnt know they were the same owners as Tuscany. Now I know why I liked it so much

The Shades manager I spoke to said it is true that they have the Tuscany Grill spot, but would like to keep their restaurant in Seaside, as well. They have requested renewal of their lease and their fate is up to the landlord, SCDC.
